PVD Technology
METAPLAS.DOMINO PVD technology platform
PVD coatings
- have a high surface hardness
- increase wear protection
- have high chemical resistance, a low tendency to stick and weld
- have an excellent layer adhesion.
PVD coatings on coining dies are used for many years now around the world.
PVD coatings substantially increase the lifetime of dies and quality of coins.

A New Innovative PVD Technology
HI3 Technology
High Ionization 3 (triple)
The Combination of three high ionization
processes has been developed.
Oerlikon Metaplas has developed and combined
3 technologies with high ionization:
AEGD: high ionized plasma etching process
APA Arc: high ionized arc coating process
HIPIMS: high ionized sputter coating process

High Ionization in PVD Processes
A high ionization during the coating process is important because:
it is necessary for dense and very smooth coatings
better phase and composition control is possible
less defects within the coating are produced
a high coating adhesion can be achieved
Plasma of APA evaporator
This provides an excellent tool to design
coatings with required improved properties

A New Innovative PVD Technology
HI3 Technology
For the first time, process and material combinations can be applied, that offer
completely new opportunities for high performance PVD coatings.
Combined strengths of 3 processes in one PVD system
Innovative approach to the next generation of PVD coatings for various applications
HI3 Technology allows to achieve layer architectures that could not be realized
previously by standard technologies.

First HI3 Coatings have been developed:
3. APA Arc AlTiN + HiPIMS SiBCN
HiPIMS
1 µm
SIBONICA
SiBNC: amorphous
micro hardness: 20
GPa
E-Modulus: 250 GPa
Arc + HiPIMS
3 µm
AlTiN/SiBNC:
fine columnar
micro hardness: 28 GPa
E-Modulus: 350 GPa
Arc
2 µm
AlTiN: columnar
micro hardness: 27 GPa
E-Modulus: 300 GPa
SiB based coatings have the highest scientific published oxidation resistance.
The alloying with SiB results in a grain refinement of the AlTiN.

Summary
HI3 Technology combines the strengths of 3 processes in one PVD system:
excellent adhesion, high deposition rate, smooth coatings, economic production
Innovative approach to the next generation of PVD coatings for various applications.
First developed HI3 coatings show promising results for a wide range of application.
With HI3 Technology coatings for coining dies can be tailored
by a wide range of materials
by micro alloying
by doping
by design of layer architecture
…..combined with economical production!
HI3 Technology has great potential for improvement according to the needs of coining
applications: for circulation coining dies and for proof coining dies.
Your are welcome to start testing and improving with us
to the best suitable coating for your coining application.
